Between just fresh ones to eat, we’ll be dipping some in chocolate, and making jam as well!

I remember when my own “J” 😉 was about probably 2 and he made a baby doll into a gun and started going “bang-bang”….I went that day and bought him a little toy gun, it was less disturbing than him pretending the baby doll was one! LOL All my boys at around 12 months or a little before just start pushing cars and making car noises, it’s just amazing how ingrained it is in them. My girls have been the same, E instantly loved baby dolls and all things girly.

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:33:19 +0000http://mytimeathome.wordpress.com/?p=285#comment-32My 19-month old won’t drink milk from a sippy cup either … I have tried, several times: all kinds of cups (even my cups that she is facinated by for any other drink), all kinds of times of day. But, no she will only drink watered down juice in a sippy cup during the day and her bottle of milk before going to bed. What I have done, the bottles I use (Born Free) have a nipple that looks less than a bottle, but more than a sippy cup. It even has handles. She is okay with those (but even there she is specific, only wanting one type not another!).
I think the Drs have that rule because they don’t want kids to drink from bottles too much because of the risk of the teeth misaligning … but then, how 10 minutes for drinking her bottle should mess up her teeth??? No clue how that is supposed to happen! … I rather make sure she has strong bones!
When the time is right for them, the transition will be much easier or they will loose interest by thenselves … same with so many other transitions: big girl/boy bed, potty training, …

I have heard other moms talk about it as well. It’s amusing how both of our boys are the same. Milk comes in a bottle, not a sippy cup. Get it right! lol

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:09:03 +0000http://mytimeathome.wordpress.com/?p=285#comment-30My baby boy Landon is 17 months old and still gets his bottle two times a day. Once in the morning during wake up time, and once at night for night-night time. He is not ready to be off of his bottle. I am not going to push him to be off of his bottle. He does not suck a pacifier, he is up to date or ahead on all other milestones, including talking more than 20 words, pointing out more than 7 body parts, putting together 2 words for (so cute) partial conversation. At his last check-up, they asked me if he was on his bottle, I told them what you just read, the nurse said I should try to start weaning him off, but every child is different. I told her he drinks out of a Sippy cup 24/7, as long as it does not have milk in it. He will not, under and circumstances, drink milk from a Sippy cup. Nope, that is for juice only. He will hand you back the Sippy cup and say “no, juice”. As a working mother of two, I just laugh and get him some juice. I will not spend my precious moments arguing with a non communicating toddler. Why? I am teaching him to talk to me and tell me what he wants so we don’t have the whining game, and if he uses his words, why would I not get what he asks? Isn’t that the point of the exercise?
So, Miranda, do what you want. My doctors office didn’t see so “alarmed” about Landon being on the bottle, and I will wean it away someday soon, but on my terms, not theirs. One of the best points you made is that every analyst, psychologist and doctor state “don’t push, each baby is different, don’t compare your children to others….” Then havens tabitsy, why is this one thing such a big deal?

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:41:01 +0000http://mytimeathome.wordpress.com/?p=285#comment-29Thanks Christy! He does drink out of the sippy cup if it has juice or water in it, just not milk. He will throw the cup down if he finds out there is milk in it. lol Thanks for the encouragement!

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:58:13 +0000http://mytimeathome.wordpress.com/?p=285#comment-28I take everything that drs/nurses say about parenting with a HUGE grain of salt. If he’s not ready, he’s not ready…he’s not going to high school drinking out of a baby bottle, so who cares…it’s not them that has to hear him cry, having him not eating anything, etc. I say gentle weaning from bottle to cup, try snack time offering the cup or just keeping it filled with water and leaving it on an end table or coffee table (if you have them) and let him drink from it as he wants. He’ll drink from the cup more and more and then you can start introducing milk in his cup slowly…maybe at dinner time after he’s ate at least two good meals during the day. Follow his lead, you’re a great Momma and he’s a blessed little boy to have a Momma who’s not going to give into this ridiculous pressure.
